Yes, you are right that there a few final gatekeepers who manage the releases, but it encourages a model where your code will be reviewed by many people before

which doesnt happen in svn repo projects?

It can and Subversion developers themselves are big on review and enforce it consistently via cultural means (Refer http://producingoss.com/) but I would argue that the nature of the system doesn't by itself encourage it. It would really depend on the workflow. If you are using one of the DVCS's, almost any non-trivial work can go into a alternative branch and commits be done offline. Merge back is easy and fast. It can be viewed coherently as a whole instead of in terms of files which is important IMO for review.
